#4 Prototype Presentation and Specification

w/ Prototype Views and Specification: (collaborative) 100 points

Introduction

In this final group assignment, you will build culminate your work in terms of research, design, and build a hi fidelity proof-of-principle prototype. This work is cumulative with other work you have accomplished as a group. It documents that work in such a way as to explain it to others while explaining your understanding of the problem and addressing why your prototype addresses the problem in the best way.

While this is not a competition, you should think of these rhetorical performances as a sort of “pitch” opportunity for funding. You need to show through careful and thoughtful articulation and documentation, why your firm’s idea is the best and should receive funding to proceed or win a contract.

This assignment consists of three separate rhetorical performances by your design firm:

Prototype specification: document your design and design process in a way that communicates to potential developers and/or supporters that your design is viable.

Proof-of-principle prototype: build on your previous low and mid fidelity work from assignment to to build out an interactive example of your digital solution using inVision or other Wireframing/Prototyping tools of your choice.
